description |
Vdebug is a new, fast, powerful debugger client for Vim. It's multi-language, and has been tested with PHP, Python, Ruby, NodeJS and Tcl. It interfaces with any debugger that faithfully uses the DBGP protocol, such as Xdebug for PHP. There are step-by-step instructions for setting up debugging with all of the aforementioned languages in the Vim help file that comes with Vdebug.
It builds on the experience gained through the legacy of the Xdebug Vim script originally created by Seung Woo Shin and extended by so many others, but it's a total rebuild to allow for a nicer interface and support of new features.
Plus, I find it a LOT faster. Why not try it for yourself?
It's written in Python, and has an object-oriented interface that is easy to extend and can even be used from the command-line. It even has unit tests covering some of the more critical parts of the code.
--------------------
Main features
--------------------
- Multi-language support
- Set and remove breakpoints (line, conditional, exception, return and call)
- Watch window showing all variables, and allowing you to switch context (to globals, etc)
- Watch window variables shown as a tree, and drill down into child elements
- Run "eval" commands on code snippets and see the output as a tree
- Run to cursor
- Support for debugging scripts on a remote machine
- The usual commands: run, step over, step in, step out, stop and detach
- IDE key support
- Complete key re-mapping possible
- Lots of configuration options
- Log to file or Vim window
-----------------
How to use
-----------------
There is very extensive help provided in the form of a Vim help file. This goes through absolutely everything, from installation to configuration, setting up debuggers for various languages, explanation of the interface, options, remote server debugging and more.
To get this help, type:
:help Vdebug
after installing the plugin. |

install details |
--------------------
Requirements
--------------------
- Vim compiled with Python 2.4+ support, tabs and signs
- A programming language that has a DBGP debugger, e.g. PHP, Python, Ruby, Perl, Tcl, NodeJS... (set-up included in the Vim help)
-----------
Classic
-----------
Clone or download a tarball of the plugin and move its content in your ~/.vim/ directory.
Your ~/.vim/plugins/ directory should now contain vdebug.vim and a directory called "python".
----------------------------------
Using git and Pathogen
----------------------------------
Clone https://github.com/joonty/vdebug.git in your ~/.vim/bundle directory
-------------------
Using vundle
-------------------
Add this to your ~/.vimrc file:
Bundle 'joonty/vdebug.git'
Then, from the command line, run:
vim +BundleInstall +qall |
